I use these to cut out fondant shapes. They're sturdy (not easily manipulated into other shapes), easy to clean and the perfect size for creating fondant cupcake or mini cupcake toppers. I also use them to cut out the centers of cookies for linzer cookies. So they're versatile. I love tools that can be used in a variety of ways and love that while they are called Aspic/jelly cutter sets, you can use them to cut cookie dough, fondant, etc.
